Having been to Alistair Cook’s Benefit Match at The County Ground last year it was a total no brainer to go to the T20 match between Essex and Ravi’s All Stars! The evening promised a wealth of world class cricketers. In fact the morning after I still can’t believe such a plethora of cricketing superstars … More Essex v Ravi’s All Stars – Event 72
Friday evening and it was T20 Blast time again – this time it was all about local cricket – Essex Eagles v Somerset (No fancy Name) – I’m going to mix my T20’s up a bit this year so won’t be at all of the Essex games, but this one I just had to go … More Essex CCC v Somerset CCC – Event 68
After a rugby league fest it was time for a more leisurely pursuit, during the Easter holidays I’d had a quiet day, that generally has me looking for sports fixtures. I already had my Essex and Surrey dates pencilled into my diary so looked further afield. Lords – The Home of Cricket is a place … More Middlesex v Kent , – Event 67

Having had a rugby packed weekend Bank Holiday Monday brought me a much calmer day in the form of Day 2 of the LV County Championship game between Essex … More Essex v Gloucestershire – Event 50

With plans to watch London Skolars in the afternoon I decided on watching the first session of the cricket. It’s lovely having a … More Essex CC v Kent CC – Event 43
My ideal week would involve watching all 3 days of the Essex v Surrey friendly, however a commitment to a photo shoot if you please, meant I had to miss Day 2. Rather than sit and watch cricket in the horrendous wind I spent the day at Frinton and Walton dressed for summer having … More Essex CC v Surrey Day 3 – Event 36
The cricket season is nearly here!! If I’m honest this blog grew from my love of the game, I was literally brought up at the side of a cricket pitch, some of my earliest memories involve my Dad in whites playing the game on what always seemed to be bright summer days. That … More Essex CC v Surrey CC – Event 35
